- Im trying to discover if Photons prove Tachyons existence
A tachyon or tachyonic particle is a hypothetical particle that always travels faster than light. Most physicists believe that faster-than-light particles cannot exist because they are not consistent with the known laws of physics. - Tachyon definition
The photon is a type of elementary particle... The invariant mass of the photon is zero; it always moves at the speed of light in a vacuum.
To summarise that, basically a Tachyon is a theoretical particle that always travels faster than light, and a Photon is an existing particle that always moves at the speed of light
Are photons not proof that tachyons exist?
